the debt ceiling being used to extort a president. >>steve: if they're using language like that, they obviously have the -- obviously somebody has gotten their attention, and that somebody is ted cruz. essentially what he's going to try to do tomorrow will be ted cruz's alamo. he essentially will filibuster the bill that passed the house that defunds obamacare and that all republicans want. it's clearly a political strategy, but here's the thing. mitch mcconnell has already said i support the house bill that defunds obamacare but i'm not going to vote to block it. so, in other words, ted cruz and mike lee right now kind of are out there by themselves. >>elisabeth: listen to that hr-pblg. it's interesting because -- listen to that language. the administration seems more quick to the reflex when it comes to attack language with our own senators than it does respond to terrorist attacks that have been happening. they were late on the ball calling what happened in kenya a terrorist attack yet they are using the word hijack with senators.
